Excerpt from The Story of Inis Cathaigh: Scattery Island The story of Inis Cathaigh appeared in the spring of 1901 in successive numbers of the Clareman newspaper. In the present issue, it has been revised and somewhat extended. In preparing it, I consulted practically all the available works which I considered likely to throw any light on the subject; but while having thus taken pains to be accurate and reliable, I have not thought it desirable, in view of the class of readers I have primarily in view, to give references, except in a few instances. Of the several authors to whom I have been indebted, I must mention the Very Rev. Canon O'Hanlon, whose life of the Saint, and especially the accompanying notes and references, I have found of much value, and have freely used. I have also, in the chapter pertaining to the See of Inis Cathaigh, drawn considerably on the work of the Very Rev. Dr. Malone, P.P., V.G., Kilrush. Acknowledgment is also due to the Editor of the Clareman for the block used as frontispiece. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
